Enabling or disabling communication between primary server and legacy cloud storage media servers
This is applicable for media server version 7.7.x to 8.1.2 only.
The NetBackup CloudStore Service Container (nbcssc) service that runs on older cloud storage media servers uses port 5637 to communicate with the primary server. Starting with release 8.2, nbcssc service is no longer deployed. The NetBackup Web Management Console (nbwmc) and the NetBackup Service Layer (nbsl) services now handle that functionality.
Even when you upgrade your primary server to 8.2 or later, the legacy cloud storage media servers continue to use the legacy cloud service for communicating with the primary server. The NetBackup 8.2 primary server, however, does support legacy cloud storage media servers. To allow communication between an 8.2 primary server and the older media servers, you have to open port 5637 on the primary server.
To enable nbwmc service communication on port 5637
- Run the following command on the primary server:
UNIX:
# usr/openv/wmc/bin/install/configurePorts -addLegacyCloudService
Windows:
<install_path>\NetBackup\wmc\bin\install\configurePorts -addLegacyCloudService
- Restart the
nbwmcservice for the changes to take effect. - Run the following command to provision a hostname-based certificate for the media server:
UNIX:
# usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpnbaz -ProvisionCert <media_server>
Windows:
<install_path>\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpnbaz -ProvisionCert <media_server>
In case of an appliance, run the following commands instead:
UNIX:
# usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpnbat -AddMachine <appliance_hostname>
Windows:
<install_path>\NetBackup\bin\bpnbat -AddMachine <appliance_hostname>
- Restart the cloud storage services on the media server.
Even though older versions of media servers are supported, it is recommended that you upgrade such media servers to version 8.2 or later. After upgrading all the legacy media servers, you can disable nbwmc service usage on port 5637.
To disable nbwmc service communication on port 5637
- Run the following command on the primary server:
UNIX:
# usr/openv/wmc/bin/install/configurePorts -removeLegacyCloudService
Windows:
<install_path>\NetBackup\wmc\bin\install\configurePorts -removeLegacyCloudService
- Restart the
nbwmcservice for the changes to take effect.
